Great potential, also a bit of disbalance between weapons and some considerable bugs between some of the most impopular weapons. For me the game was not finished at all, but still it’s pretty fun to play. Would give it 5 if it had some kind of server for atleast several players for it and if it haven’t some glitches between, so it’s a fairly a 4.
